Los Angeles:Love for Mom is a given,but buying flowers on her big day may not be. A slump in flower sales since late last year was likely to continue through Mother's Day,another example of Americans cutting back on spending due to recession fears,which is a period of reduced trade and business activity,and increasing food and gasoline prices.
“If you look at what has happened on Valentine’s Day and Christmas, the market for flowers has cooled,” said Eric Bender, an analyst at Bream Murray. “Growth has slowed in the past two quarters. Mother's Day will probably be a slow quarter,too.’’ US floral sales for Mother’s Day, celebrated yesterday, will fall thirteen percent this year to $2 billion,with consumers spending an average of $17.65.according to the National Retail Federation estimates.
Mother’s Day,which accounts for a one—quarter of annual holiday purchases,according to the Society of American Florists,is traditionally the day when floral bouquets are delivered to the doorsteps of many mothers.But this year,the shop-owners are concerned.
Gabriel Soto,who owns a flower shop beneath an office high-rise in the Los Angeles financial district, is expecting lower sales--and has ordered 30 percent fewer flowers than normal this Mother’s Day.
Last month, Solo, who also operates website downtown-flowers, net, closed another store in a nearby building that was headquarters to a mortgage company. After workers lost their jobs due to the housing crisis, orders decreased.
1.The underlined word “slump” in Para. 2 probably means__________________________.
A. sharp increase in price B. great fear for losing jobs
C. global worry of floral stores D. sudden fall by a large amount
2.According to the author, Mother's Day should be an occasion of_____________.
A. a large family get-together
B. a big annual holiday purchase
C. a great love showed to mothers
D. a celebration among Americans

A. met financial problems recently
B. no longer bought flowers for mothers
C. delivered flowers to every house for mothers
D. cut back on spending because of having lost jobs
4.Which would be the best title for this passage?

A cookie can give one person a sugar rush while barely affecting another person, a new study finds, indicating that a food’s glycemic index(血糖指數(shù))is in the eater.
People’s blood sugar rises or falls differently even when they eat the exact same fruit, bread, deserts, pizza and many other foods, researchers report. That suggests that diets should be tailored to individuals’ personal characteristics.
The researchers made the discovery after fitting 800 people with blood glucose (血糖)monitors for a week. The people ate standard breakfasts supplied by the researchers. Although the volunteers all ate the same food, their blood glucose levels after eating those foods varied dramatically. Characteristics and behaviors such as body mass index, sleep, exercise, blood pressure, cholesterol levels and the kinds of microbes(微生物) living in people’s intestines are associated with blood glucose responses to food, the researchers conclude.
Those findings indicate that blood sugar spikes (血糖尖峰)after eating depend not only on what you eat, but how your system processes that food.
A team led by a biologist created a computer algorithm(計算程序) that predicted how much a person’s blood sugar would rise or fall after eating a certain food. When testing on a new group of 100 people, the algorithm correctly predicted the response about 70 percent of the time.
A third group of 26 participants were then given personalized meals. The computer algorithm analyzed each person and then picked diets for 12 of them. A nutritionist chose a “good” and “bad” diet for the remaining participants. Good diets were ones that minimized blood sugar spikes after eating. Bad diets sent blood sugar skyrocketing. The diets contained the same amount of calories. It turned out that foods on the “good” diet for one person were sometimes on another participant’s “bad” list.
1.A food’s glycemic index depends on ______.
A. diets B. sleep
C. health D. eaters
2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “tailored” in Paragraph 2?
A. limited B. adjusted
C. applied D. compared
3.The good diets chosen by a nutritionist were the ones that _______ after eating.
A. made blood sugar unchanged
B. sent blood sugar rising sharply
C. reduced blood sugar spikes to the lowest
D. provided body with lots of calories
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. People’s Blood Sugar Rises Or Falls
B. A Good Diet for You May be Bad for Me
C. Diets And Blood Sugar
D. Can a Cookie Give One Person a Sugar Rush?

What makes a person a giver or a taker? The idea of “give versus take” takes shape in all relationships of our lives. We're either giving advice, making time for people, or we're on the receiving end. We alternate between the two based on different situations we face on a daily basis, it not an hourly one.
According to Adam Grant, a professor at Pennsylvania University, most people are matchers. They make careful observations on takers and make it a point for them to pay something back. They hate to see people who act so generously towards others without receiving any reward. Actually, most matchers will try to promote and support givers so that they can get the good they deserve.
Another professor named Hannah Rile Bowles, from Harvard University, led a study on the idea. She asked 200 senior managers to sit down in pairs where one person would act as the boss and the other as an employee to negotiate salary promotions. Male employees asked for an average salary of $146 k while the females asked for only $141 k. But why did they not bargain as hard as the men? Simply because they were more likely to be givers.
As a woman, I do enjoy the act of giving up my time, my knowledge and my care and attention to others. I don't expect anything in return, but I do tend to pull myself away when I feel like I'm being taken for granted. I also tend to get upset when I see a loved one's continuous actions of kindness go unnoticed. So it's safe to say I'm 50% giver,35% matcher and 15% taker.
I do know someone, however, who is 99% giver. They’re devoting their time, sharing valuable insights and going out of their way for everyone who crosses their path. Although they've changed the lives of many people, they rarely see any of it returned. But the universe is slowly repaying them; they’re now extremely successful, well known for what they do.
1.In Adam Grant’s opinion, most people .
A. prefer giving to taking
B. prefer taking to giving
C. tend to depend on others
D. tend to balance between giving and taking
2.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Cheer myself up. B. Give up on myself.
C. Stay away deliberately. D. Force myself to move forward.
3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. No good deed goes undone.
B. People who give are worth respecting.
C. Giving is the shortest path to success.
D. Sharing is the greatest human quality.

Where do you think the world's happiest people live? Somewhere hot with sandy beaches?A country with a tradition of the fine food and culture? Not according to a recent study by the University of Leicester.Who are the happiest people on Earth?1.Surprised? Well you'll be more surprised when you hear that the Danes pay some of the highest taxes in the world.So what is the secret of their success?
Let's start with all that tax they pay.The Danish government provides its people with one of the finest education and health systems in the world.It spends more on children and elderly people per capita(人均)than any other country.
2.Thanks to the tax policy,a shop assistant's final salary is not that much less than someone who works in a bank.As a result,Danes don't choose their careers based on money or status as people in other countries do.They choose the job they want to do.There's a philosophy in Denmark known as "Jante-lov",which translates as "you're no better than anybody else."3.But workers in other countries are not used to looking at life in this way.
Money doesn't seem as important in Denmark.It has been called a “post consumerist” society.4.What is more important is the sense of society and it's no surprise that Danes are very used to socializing.92% of Danes belong to some kind of social club and these clubs are even paid for by the government.
5.They also show an amazing amount of trust in each other and their government.You can see signs of this all over the country.You'll find vegetable stalls with no assistant.You take what you want and leave the money in a basket.Perhaps the bike is a good symbol for Denmark.The Danes can afford cars but they choose bikes-simple, economical,non-polluting machines that show no status and help keep people fit.
A.In a list ranking countries by the happiness of their citizens,it put tropical Fiji 50 places below freezing Iceland.
B.The street sweeper can hold his head up high as he proudly does his job.
C.Danish people aren't as suspicious as many other nations.
D.High taxes in Denmark widen the gap between different jobs.
E.Those 5.5 million people who call Denmark their home.
F.People have nice things in their houses,but they don't attach too much importance to shopping and spending.

It is good to get in touch with your inner child from time to time,and obviously some people are willing to pay big money for the chance to do so in a proper environment.A Brooklyn-based adult preschool is charging customers between $333 and $999 for the chance to act like a kid again.
At Preschool Mastermind in New York adults get to participate in show—and—tell,arts—and—crafts such as finger paint,games like musical chairs and even take naps.The month-long course also has class picture day where the adults are expected to have a field trip and a parent day.
